The Freestylers Scape Poll

If this will be a thing, what i can suggest the most is to create your own framework.
More work, but a better payoff in the long-run, I've developed for quite a few runescape private servers before.
All their code is Redundant and just plain dumb. The rsps community is made up of 10 year olds that don't understand programming in the least.
Using any of the current private servers would be a big mistake. With the exception of Apollo, but i'd still highly suggest that you created your own framework.
There would be alot less confusion and re-writing perfectly fine code because you didn't know it was there. (cannot tell you how many times i've done that)
Also, i would suggest writing it in C++ as GunZ is in C++ so if the GunZ Developers did get involved it would be easier for them to understand, also it would
filter out retarded Java developers who do not know what they are doing 90% of the time and will do a shitty job just because they'd get paid to anyway.

This, a stable framework for the client where you'd run java in it is fine (even to going away from java should be better.. the NXT client from rs for example).

A RuneScape Private server in C++ it's pointless. Runescape is written in java and doesn't need much control for a server, also can hold 2k players. If you wan't, feel free to write a C++ server and catch up to the point to what I have in my server. Not every java developer is retarded.

Edit: Also if Dave supports this, then Ill let him decide the name for this. For now I'll stick with Freestylers Scape.

Yes and no, java can handle a lot but like I said above, if you have a solid framework for the client it is a lot better as just using a .jar as client in my opinion (played some servers and jar client tend to crash when they make a mistake).

I'd be happy to contribute when it comes to writing shops n such (the crunching number stuff, I love it).
